s. A. PILBLAD FINGER RING Filed June '16, 1930 Patented Oct. 17, 1933 UNETED STATES PATET FEQE FINGER RING Application June 16, 1930. Serial No. 461,393

2 Claims.

This invention relates to finger rings and more particularly to stone protected rings.

One of the objects of my invention is to provide a ring with a stone that lies within the top surface of the head of the ring, no portion or" said stone being directly exposed, so that it will not be cracked or broken should it be dropped or accidentally strike some hard object.

Another object is to provide such a ring which is attractive in appearance, will permit the use of many different kinds of designs and can be manufactured at a sufficiently low cost to compeie with other types of stone rings and to some extent with all-gold rings.

The foregoing and other objects which will appear as the nature of the invention is better understood, may be accomplished by a construc tion, combination and arrangement of parts such as disclosed by the drawing. The nature of the invention is such as to render it susceptible to various changes and modifications, and, therefore, I am not to be limited to the construction disclosed by the drawing; but am entitled to all such changes therefrom as fall within the scope or" my claims.

in the drawing:

Figures 1, 2, 3 and i are perspective views of the design member, stone, holding device and ring band respectively.

Figure 5 is a cross-sectional view of a completely assembled ring just before the upper portion of the holding device is rolled over onto the design member.

Figure 6 is a cross-sectional view of a finished ring.

As illustrated the band 12 of my ring is formed with a hat base portion 13 on which rests the ornamental parts which constitute the head of the ring. An outside frame or holding device 14, the sides of which slant inwardly as shown, is soldered or otherwise permanently united to said base, the upper portion 15 of which is cut out on the inside so that it may be rolled over easily as later described. On said base portion 13 rests an onyx or other kind of ornamental stone 1? and on top of said onyx 17 rests a top piece or design member 18, the outside edges of which are beveled inwardly towards the top as shown at 19. When all of the parts are assembled they are permanently held together by rolling over said upper portion 15 of the outside frame 14 so that it rests against the beveled outside edges 19 of said design member 18 as shown in Figure 6 of the drawing. The design member 18 is flush with the top surface of the outside frame 14 which gives the ring a finished appearance.

What I claim is:

1. An article of jewelry comprising a base portion, a hollow holding device, a stone member and a design member above said stone member, said holding device carried by said base portion, said stone member resting upon and contacting directly with said base portion, an upper portion of said holding device being rolled over into contact with the side of said design member.

2. An article of jewelry comprising a base portion, a hollow holding device, a stone member and a design member, said holding device carried by said base portion, an upper portion of said holding device being adapted to be rolled over, said stone member resting directly upon and contacting with said base portion within said holding device, said design member having beveled edges upon which said holding device upper portion is adapted to contact upon being rolled over.
